Real Agent

The Idea

Every AI tool is built
from 3 things.

ChatGPT. Cursor. Lovable. Every AI product you've ever used is the same thing under the hood.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

There is no magic. Every AI product you'll ever meet is some combination of these three things — and by Video 3, you'll be designing your own.

Who is this for?

One of these is you

This program is designed for real people in real jobs, not abstract "learners"

01
The Professional
Marketer, analyst, ops manager. You've used ChatGPT. You know there's more. You just don't know how to unlock it yet.
Best match: Productivity
02
The Business Owner
Agency owner, freelancer, e-commerce. You're drowning in repetitive tasks. You want to build something that does them while you sleep.
Highest ROI student
03
The Hobbyist
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing. You just want to build cool stuff. DeskBot is for you. The course is the bonus.

04
The Student
CS or engineering student. Building agents is the new resume differentiator. Everyone else is learning Python — you'll learn to direct AI.
Future-proof skill
05
The Career Switcher
Pivoting into tech or automation. You don't want to spend 2 years learning to code. This is a faster, smarter path in.
No background needed
06
The Parent / Gift Buyer
Looking for something that actually teaches your kid something real. DeskBot on a desk, building agents — that's a gift they'll use.

"Agents run my businesses. Now I'll show you how to build your own."

I run an automation agency building production systems for e-commerce, manufacturing, and tech clients — marketing ops, ad pipelines, engineering workflows. I also design and build products. The only reason I can run all of it at once is because agents do the work.

"I build at the intersection of art, design, and engineering. Now I'll teach you to do the same with agents."

Vijay founded Fracktal Works at 19 — today its 3D printers power work in medicine, automotive, aerospace, and architecture. A two-time Hackaday Prize winner, he’s taken open-source hardware to Antarctica with polar explorer Robert Swan, written books published in multiple languages, and spoken on TEDx stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know how to code? +

No. This course is designed for non-programmers. The AI writes the code, you write the instructions in plain English. You'll learn to read code at a high level, but you won't write it from scratch.

What hardware do I need to buy? +

An ESP32 dev module, a small OLED display, a speaker with amplifier, breadboard, jumper wires, and a USB cable. Total cost is around ₹2,000–3,000. We provide a complete shopping list with links when you sign up.

Do I need a powerful computer? +

Any modern laptop or desktop works. The AI processing can run locally (with Ollama) or through cloud APIs (Groq, OpenAI, Claude). Windows, Mac, and Linux are all supported.

How long is the course? +

About 4–4.5 hours of video content across 11 lessons, plus 27 interactive modules. You can go at your own pace, most students finish in 2–4 weeks.

Is DeskBot just a toy, or can it do real work? +

Real work. By Video 7, DeskBot sends actual WhatsApp messages, writes to real Google Sheets, controls physical smart home devices, and reads your actual email. These aren't simulations — they're live API connections.

What's the DOE Framework? +

DOE stands for Directive-Orchestration-Execution. It's the architectural pattern that makes AI agents reliable. Directives are plain English instructions, the Orchestrator is the AI brain that makes decisions, and Execution scripts do the actual work.
